It's what I already do with some of my characters if they're at the end of a jumping puzzle or whatever - they go to Armistice Bastion to empty out their inventory, then back to the puzzle. But for me the time required to do that is trivial because I don't have an army of alts I have to cycle through and I'm not worried about efficent farming. I'm just pointing out there is already an option to be able to do both with the same character. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandrefalk.6823 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I think JPs were probably originally intended to be ran from start to finish; but a small percentage of the player base has been parking alts on end chests simply to log their alts for quick rewards. And with homesteads and alt parking simply to show them off, you even get the rested bonus and option to still park wherever you want and simply click the 'exit instance' to get back to wherever you were in the world... I think one extra mouse click is as player friendly you will get if you're expecting to reap the "rewards" of both JP reward chests AND the new homestead alt show-off feature. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just tremendously cumbersome and not player friendly Well, it's not fun to cycle through a bunch of alts just so you can click 'interact' either. I don't think ppls are doing it bc it's fun . . . But it's worth noting that what you describe is completely unnecessary. Homesteads will not actually require you to park your alts there. You can keep them at their parking spots if you feel the extra loading screen isn't worth seeing them in your homestead when you're on another toon . . . 3 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Calaway.9718 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I wonder how many characters can actually show up, from the article it makes it sound like only three, one of each weight at that as they have preset places. So if I want a Revenant, Guardian and a Warrior there, what then? I have a feeling this is gonna be subject to change, I'd rather have a system where you can pick and choose who'd be there from the character select screen. It would also be great if we still had the Town Clothes as originally implemented and if we could pick if they'd either use that or their combat armor. It could be a good time to introduce more town clothes too. I would also like it if by default they'd just go around roaming, pretend to perform tasks here and there, just to make it more lively. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we'll have to give up valuable parking alts spots to make use of this cool feature where you can show off your alts and make them follow you around. If this doesn't get changed, this feature is Dead On Arrival to me (and I presume many alt parking spot fans). If only we could just clone an alt and make them live within our homestead so we can still park alts wherever we want in Tyria, it would actually be a feature that is fun and usable at the same time. There is no gained benefit from having an alt parked in your homestead, so why not let us clone alts inside homesteads so we can actually enjoy them? Just make a mannequin of your alts if you're so desperate to see them in your Homestead 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume, if you have one follow to change their location and you log back in on that alt, their location will change again? Based on the stream, the alts go back to their default position when you leave the homestead. There is no point to moving your alts to a spot that you think suits them best. So there is no point to having your alts in your homestead at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like to move your alt to a spot that works better for them, you can't. When you leave, the alts go back to a default area. The point of having alts in your home is so they can be where you think makes the most sense for them. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the livestream. You can have 30 alts parked in your Homestead. That is 10 of each armor weight, light, medium and heavy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the point of having no real control over your alts' position? As you stated, in that case, it is better to not have any of them present in your Homestead.
